The anaerobic biodegradation of ferulate and benzoate in stabilized methanogenic consortia was examined in detail. Up to 99% of the ferulate and 98% of the benzoate were converted to carbon dioxide and methane. Methanogenesis was inhibited with 2-bromoethanesulfonic acid, which reduced the gas production and enhanced the buildup of intermediates. Use of high-performance liquid chromatography and two gas chromatographic procedures yielded identification of the following compounds: caffeate, p-hydroxycinnamate, cinnamate, phenylpropionate, phenylacetate, benzoate, and toluene during ferulate degradation; and benzene, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, cyclohexanecarboxylate, cyclohexanone, 1-methylcyclohexanone, pimelate, adipate, succinate, lactate, heptanoate, caproate, isocaproate, valerate, butyrate, isobutyrate, propionate, and acetate during the degradation of either benzoate or ferulate. Based on the identification of the above compounds, more complete reductive pathways for ferulate and benzoate are proposed.
详细研究了稳定产甲烷菌群中阿魏酸和苯甲酸的厌氧生物降解。阿魏酸和苯甲酸分别有 99%和 98%转化为二氧化碳和甲烷。使用 2-溴乙磺酸抑制产甲烷作用,降低了气体产量并促进了中间产物的积累。使用高效液相色谱和两种气相色谱程序鉴定了以下化合物:在阿魏酸降解过程中产生咖啡酸、对羟基肉桂酸、肉桂酸、苯丙酸、苯乙酸、苯甲酸和甲苯;在苯甲酸或阿魏酸降解过程中产生苯、环己烷、甲基环己烷、环己烷羧酸、环己酮、1-甲基环己酮、延胡索酸、己二酸、琥珀酸、乳酸、庚酸、己酸、异丁酸、戊酸、丁酸、异丁酸、丙酸和乙酸。基于上述化合物的鉴定,提出了更完整的阿魏酸和苯甲酸的还原途径。
